Please answer the following questions so I will have a better understanding of what individuals know about sweatshops and what individuals would like to learn about sweatshops. You can either post your answers or e-mail them to me at singletondms@gmail.com . I will start blogging the 28th of January to give participants a chance to answer the questions.  Each week I will blog about one of the questions and post informational websites on sweatshops.The second part of the blog will be my own personal attempts to be more conscientious of where I purchases clothing and at what stores I shops. Please give me feedback on what you have learned about sweatshops and any comments you might have. The propose of the blog is to learn about sweatshops and for us as citizens to become more aware of where we shop.
